[Intro: JC Chasez]
Riprock, AG
Come in, over
Yo, turn me up
I wanna be heard
See, I'm talking bout the future y'all
And the future looks bright
'specially when we rip in half
[Verse 1: JC Chasez]
Here it comes, millennium
And everybody's talkin' bout Jerusalem
Is this the beginning or beginning of the end?
Well, I've got other thoughts my friend
See I've got my eyes on the skies
The heavenly bodies up high
And if you're in the mood to take a ride
Then strap on a suit and get inside
[Chorus: *NSYNC]
If you wanna fly, come and take a ride
Take a space ride with the cowboy, baby
If you wanna fly, come and take a ride
Take a space ride with the cowboy, baby
Why-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yay
Why-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yo
Why-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yay
Why-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yo
[Verse 2: Justin Timberlake]
We don't need all these prophecies
Telling us what's a sign (what's a sign)
'Cause paranoia ain't the way to live your life from day to day
So leave your doubts and your fears behind
Don't be afraid at all
'Cause up in outer space, there's no gravity to fall
Put your mind and your body to the test
'Cause up in outer space is like the Wild Wild West, oh
[Chorus: *NSYNC & Justin Timberlake]
If you wanna fly, come and take a ride
Take a space ride with the cowboy, baby
If you wanna fly, come and take a ride
Take a space ride with the cowboy, baby
Why-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yay
(Yippie-yi-yippie-yi-yay)
Why-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yo
(Yippie-yi-yippie-yi-yo, oh)
Why-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yay
(Yippie-yi-yippie-yi-yay)
Why-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yo
(Yippie-yi-yo, oh)
[Break: JC Chasez]
There it is, yo
It's time we put some funk on this track
And I'm not not talkin about that stale stuff
Yo Riprock, AG
[Verse 3: Left Eye]
Sonic Boom and never let you try to stop me
Born to fly sky high up to the top see
Nothing to fear, no doubts and no tears
Millennium sound to motivate the future years
And you can either be scared or get prepared
Against all odds I bet you never would've dared
To make these moves and take flight like me
To come through for the world prophecy
Space connect to overthrow your interception
Ready or not make it hot
That ain't no question
Get *N Sync and put your head to the sky
Keep the faith
One love from Left Eye
[Chorus: *NSYNC, JC Chasez & Justin Timberlake]
If you wanna fly (fly), come and take a ride
Take a space ride with the cowboy, baby
If you wanna fly, come and take a ride
(If you wanna fly, baby)
Take a space ride with the cowboy, baby
(Take a ride, baby)
If you wanna fly, come and take a ride
(If you wanna fly)
Take a space ride with the cowboy, baby
(Oooh, oooh, oooh)
If you wanna fly (if you want to fly, yeah)
Come and take a ride (come and take a ride)
Take a space ride with the cowboy, baby
(Ride with the cowboy)
Why-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yay
(Just ride, baby)
Why-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yo
(Yippie-yi-yo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Why-yi-yi-yippie-yi-yay-yippie-yi-yo-yippie-yi-yay
